New York, USA

I am a people-first leader dedicated to conscious leadership with fifteen years of experience developing mission-driven organizations, communities, and start-ups across nonprofit and private sectors. Skillful in building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, stakeholders, and teams in innovative and fast-paced environments.

As a certified trauma-informed coach, I provide an evidence-based and innovative approach to support individuals and organizations to reach their potential and reimagine thriving workplaces that practice inclusivity and creativity. I am dedicated to helping high-performing individuals overcome the challenges of generational trauma and build a legacy of resilience and empowerment. I work with a diverse range of clients, including children of immigrants and those who have experienced marginalization, to help them overcome the effects of generational trauma on their health and well-being and develop a holistic plan for personal and professional growth.

My work is informed by my experiences as an interfaith chaplain, musician, operator, and strategist — a diverse background woven together with a strong thread of human connection and community. Early in my career, I was drawn to chaplaincy as a way to hold space for people in grief and trauma. As a second-generation Korean-American woman from a lineage of healers, ministers, and activists, I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors, connected by han (a distinctly Korean expression of intergenerational suffering and solidarity). This han helps me coach and lead from a deep well of passion, purpose, and empathy. Each of us is invited to be part of the tapestry of collective freedom — to create a meaningful life and legacy. Let's work together.

More about me: When I’m not coaching, I’m learning the art of parenting. My anchor and greatest teachers are my children — Johannes (4) and Oscar (2). ​
